Inherited Phenomena of AIco2l oiism.

DR.. I. d. Crothers, of Walnut Lodge,
Hartford, Conn, has made a study Of a
class of phenomena which have not been
previously described specifically, in which
O liability to exhibit the outward signs of
intoxication upon excitement appears to
have been inherited from inebriate parents.
He has found two classes of the cases
one in which the symptoms of intOXica-
ton are present all the time; the other, in
which those symptoms only appear from
some peculiar circumstances or exciting
causes. In the first class, some prominent
defect, such as idiOcy, imbecility or con-
genital deformity, is present to give the
case a distinctneSS irrespective of the signs
Of intOXicatiOn. The symptoms may ap-
pear after birth or be slowly evolved with
the growth of the child, and come into
prominence at or before puberty. OF
course all the varied phases of idiOcy, i'm
becility. progressive degeneration and
malformation so on. The presence of a
special class of symptoms resembling in
toXication so clearly suggests distints
alcoholic causatiOn.
In the second class of cases noted the
alcoholic symptoms are not present unless
from some exciting cause (nOn-alcOhOliC),
such as anger, fear or sudden excitement.
In this class are idiots, imbeciles and de
fectives of all degrees, who at times dis
| play distinct signs Of intoXcation that
subside after period. Often in these
cases appear the common delusions and
deliriumS of intoXicatiOn; also the semi
paralysis and stupor. Teachers and SUI
parintendents of asyluns and schools for
this class realize clearly the danger of eX-
citeraent on these dement's and detectives,
throwing them into various states of
| mania as we'll as intoXication. Popular

ton 1t was piece of "Attakapas Cot
tonade," or Acadian cloth, peculiar
fabric made only in the Attakapas

planters of that region. The material is
peculiar, of cotton and linen, beauti-
full blue, and very thick and heavy. 1t is
almost waterproof, and q suit Of it will
last for years. Since the war it has al-

Some very queer charms have come into
vogue lately, in the shape OF South
American beetles. These insects are
caught and dried. They become quite
hard. and their backs afford a beautiful
play of iridescent cOlors. They are set IN
rims of gold, and often whole necklaces
are made of them. But they are costly
trinkets, for their shells are easily crushed,
when they drop to dust in their settings.
I saw wonderfully pretty and odd neck
lace at a big jewelry counter the other

with wire links. The metal was silver,
with shadings produced by oxidization.
In the same shop was a monkey necklace,
also in silver, enameled. The little mon
keys were united by their claws and tails,
and they made q very quaint and unique

Sea Lions in Central Park.

The eight sea lions at Central park are
just now attracting much attention. They
were captured about a month ago on St.
Paul's and st. Georges islands off the
coast of Alaska, and arrived here last
week overland from San Francisco. The
animals made the journey in big crates,
reaching their destination in just six days
and eight hours. They were badly fright
ened by their trip and would not eat any
thing at first, but they were nevertheless
the eight happiest sea lions in existence
when they were set free in the cranes
pond at the park and found that the water
was really wet. They plunged into the
pool one after another as fast as they were
released and speedily congregated In the
center, where they poked up their long,
shining noses at the moon, and beloved
GOVT Ow! ow!' with masculine, Wild
West show accent. Then they turned over
and over like acrobatic dOlphins with big
flippers and made the water foam until
they were tired with their eXertions, when
they reassembled in the center of the
basin and rubbed noses and careSsed each
other in their excess of JOY.
There is nice little house on the banks
of the basin filled with soft hay, and the
ground for some distance around the
house is literally strewn with hay. But
the lions at first preferred to huddle to-
gether in the basin, where nobody could
get good view of them. Keeper Shan
non tried to rout them out with long
pole, but his efforts only resulted in set
ting the sea lions snarling like tigers.
Several expedients were tried with a SIM
liar result. Finally an assistant pro-
duced family umbrella and holding it
toward the lions opened and shut it as
fast as he could. The lions gave terrific
chorus Of COWS" which they changed to a
prolonged snarl of ''b-r-r-r," and with
awkward, ungainly founders clambered
over the sides of the basin and Topped
along the bank in great haste to escape
from the umbrella.-New York Tribune.

How Indians XIII Deer.

In Washington Territory the Indians
have an ingenious scheme by which they
kill large number Of deer with but very
little trouble Taking some old blankets,
they fasten them at short intervals upon
the bushes. making long line Of bushes
so covered. Then taking in a large area
OF timber. they gradually close in on the
frightened deer. When the animals have
reached the line Of blankets they travel
around in a circle like whirlpool refus-
ing TO pass the line of blankets. This en-
ables the Indians to kill them as rapidly
as they please.-Chicago Times.

Life is certainty, death is doubt;
Men may be dead while they're walking about;
Love is as needful to being as breath:
Loving is dreaming, and waking is death.
